I wanted to send some sort of holiday greeting to my extended family, friends, and so called friends, but it is difficult in todays world to know exactly what to say without offending someone. With this in mind I met my lawyer yesterday, and on his advice I wish to say the following: Please accept, with...

Is it time we banned guns full stop? No more recreational hunting. Or at least, ban semi automatic guns...single round only and only kept at a gun club under lock and key. Farmers except, but only a limit of two single round guns. Absolutely, no need for guns in the community. John Howard did a good job, b...

I note that our resident lawyer has been absent on here of late. I hope that nothing untoward has befallen him. In view of the fact that a very important cricket match is due to take place tomorrow and his views on it would be appreciated, I ask the question; "Dmaxer, wherefore art thou Dmaxer?" (Apolog...

I suggest that an Adventure Truck category be added to the website. Ordinary motorhomes do not have the clearance or the strength to handle the rigours of off road travel in the outback but there is much to see. There seems to be more adventure trucks around these days. Mr GRUMP[Y

I am really looking forward to the upcoming Ashes series which commences in a few weeks time in Perth. Although I am not a fan of the Australian team for reasons given in the past as to their carry on I do like watching cricket for the game itself and the skill of the players. I played grade cricket in earlie...

Apparently, a distance based Road User charge is to be phased in for EVs because those vehicles avoid petrol excise charges. Are we also going to see a similar charge applied to the use of caravans? In many cases the weight of a van exceeds the weight of the tug and its travel on the road causes damage....

I read that the Labour government in UK are going to introduce these cards. Just another tracking device? The general public over there are up in arms, over 3 million objections to date. Sadly I fear that there isn't a lot of privacy left anywhere these days . Maybe George Orwell got it right all those y...

So I went out on a local tour, last Monday for 5 days, with my dog, on a road heading west out towards Bingara from Bundarra, to camp for 4 days on the Gwydir, with my dog in his trailer. Had no issues on the ride out, it took me a day and half to get to my spot, so camped on the way, as I left at 1pm Monday afternoon...
